Default Local knowledge needed

There used to be a Kite Shop on Neal Street in Covent Garden.
Unfortunately, a dog has attacked my trick kite and I now need some repair tape and and a couple of spars.
I have tried to ring the kite shop but it says the number is in valid. I suspect that it has closed down. But, if somebody just happens to be in the area and could check for me that would be great.
It was at number 48 Neal Street.
Alternatively, does anybody know anywhere I can get some repair tape and replacement spars from?

I'm told it's no longer there.

Apparently it's now a shoe shop - which obviously is very useful as before now there were kite shops on every corner in Covent Garden and no shoe shops to be found anywhere.
